Why Ziggler Wasn't Used on Raw This Week

According to backstage sources, Dolph Ziggler was not scripted into this week's edition of Raw, which is why he was not used on the show. He did make an appearance in the dark match main event after show, along with AJ Lee and Big E. Langston.

There appears to be no heat on Ziggler or anything other than creative didn't have anything for him on Raw this week, so I wouldn't read into his absence much at all.
